Near Death
It was a day of near death, I did not know,
I found myself sitting, at the beginning of my own show,
I watched my whole life flash before me,
It only took seconds, to the years of my life-,
before this,
I then found myself sitting up in a hospital bed,
doctors and nurses were running all around me,
they didn't even see me in front of them,
I wondered what the excitement was all about,
They kept going behind me, a place for some reason, I was not allowed to see,
Confused to why I was here, I felt good, home was only fair, I seen my family sitting around,
they all had long faces, looking through me, like I wasn't even there,
It was then I started to make a move, home was in my view, something then took control, put me in my place, it was powerful, but good,
I was showed a glimpse, a picture, I did not understand, it soon dissapeared into thin air,
I then laid down, I awoke with the most crusading pain, the doctor then looked me in the eye, and said, it's a miracle you're still alive, you gave me a scare, I lost you twice,
It was that moment I realized, I was the one, behind the scenes, the one place I could not see, it was me they were working on the whole time.
